to get the following device-mapper changes for 3.11.
Thanks,
Alasdair
----------------------------------------------------------------
Add a device-mapper target called dm-switch to provide a multipath
framework for storage arrays that dynamically reconfigure their
preferred paths for different device regions.
Fix a bug in the verity target that prevented its use with some
specific sizes of devices.
Improve some locking mechanisms in the device-mapper core and bufio.
Add Mike Snitzer as a device-mapper maintainer.
A few more clean-ups and fixes.
